Christkindl Market

This past weekend, Mifflinburg PA, hosted the annual Christkindl German Christmas Market. A few block of a couple of streets are turned into the traditional Christmas market with vendors, folk dancers, food, carolers, crafters etc. it is a fun time indeed. So here are few pictures from the day.

This is the Tinsel Angel and her story is posted in another picture below.

Can't have a festival without food. I was eating brats with saukraut and Spätzle and Stollen and, well, you get the idea! Good sharp cheese and garlic balogna courtesy of RISHEL'S MEATSAddress: 701 Walnut ST, Mifflinburg, PA 17844

WELCOME!

I love to cook. While only an amateur on the fine dining front, I certainly appreciate excellent food of all kinds. Living in this region, I am fortunate enough to have grown and been exposed to a variety of ethnic flavors from Polish, German, Jewish, Irish and Italian influences. The area is rural with a population rich in these backgrounds, having come here for farming and mining as it is also by the Coal Region. Bordering the farming valleys and the Coal Region is PA Dutch Country. (This food and background is not Dutch, but German.) This makes for an interesting fusion, rustic and layered with flavors. Due to the prolific fresh produce, products, and many fresh proteins, flavors pop due to their kaleidoscope of flavor with the changing seasons. Rural and ethnic festivals that really celebrate food are also a major part of my life here. I plan to share from these and family recipes as well, also sharing my favorite places along the way. My friends often tease that they like to travel with me because they know they will eat and drink well!
